service orientation.

wait a minute, you have object-oriented, component-oriented, and now what is service oriented. quite interesting, even Microsoft adopted this for their new Web services framework, codenamed Indigo and it is going to be part of Longhorn OS. (to be continued)

look at the unit.

The unit testing framework on .net apparently has been adopted by VS.Net 2005, I wondered myself how I did the unit testing in handful of projects that I have worked on. I will talk little bit on why do you automated unit testing tools/frameworks. First and foremost reason is to do repetitive testing on a unit which changes frequently, unit not properly design, anyways :-), but it really makes sense when you do integration testing. (to be continued).

May I Service you?

It is now becoming a hot topic in the world of IT. Web Services. I read an article in Information Week about ebay and amazon web services. It is very interesting, how a successful business model can be exploited by other businesses. It even explained that ebay site is webservices enabled, which allows big players like ford, and other to sell their surplus products through auctions in ebay. Even though ROI was not yet established on ebay about web services, atleast the services concept which was just in books is now in practice.
